Also my 19 year old daughter said why not dig the shafts that were there

yeah those guys really got stuck on their GPR images and the imagination runs wild. I admit I got caught up in it too, the only difference was it didn't cost me $37K Euros. The ventilation shafts might have been a better bet

Was it actually worth watching for 59 mins? Was there anything that was revealed that we didn't know already from the links on here?

well it led me to a series called Nazi Megastructures and that was a really good watch. Originally called Nazi Megaweapons but they renamed it for some odd reason.

The things the Nazi's built were unbelievable and the cost in Reichmarks and human lives was astounding.Like something ordered by a lunatic, which of course they were.

It's not so much that I'm necessarily averse to wasting 59 mins, but there is no broadband here & I have to go on line through a 4G network & I always seem to end up close to my allowance :-(

that sucks, if my house had an allowance on internet time we'd blow it thru it in half a day or less

Unlike the Titanic, it did not take years to establish where the wreck of the Gustloff lay. An accurate position recorded during the sinking (55.07N, 17.41E) and relatively shallow waters (45m/150ft) near the Stolpe Bank make it easy to locate. Sometime after the war has ended, it is alleged that the Soviets visit the wreck and scour for objects of interest. Rumours of a cherished Soviet treasure - the AmberRoom- in the cargo hold may have provoked a visit. They blow up the mid-ship section to cover their tracks – leaving only the bow and stern reasonably recognizable. Other items have been pilfered from the wreck including the anchors and props. Today, the wreck is officially designated as a grave site and is off limits to divers by order of Polish authorities. However, some dives have been made recently, particularly by Mike Boring and his team in May 2003.

The missing ships in SE Asia was very well known as was on the historical groups whilst I was there and nothing was done to stop it. Just about every ship of note sunk an the onset of the Japanese attack no longer exist, although designated war graves.

always amazed me on the news footage, the guys are on one side saying there's a tunnel on this side, but quite clearly seen on the opposite side are several concrete vent shafts that obviously served underground areas of some sort. I know where I'd be digging.....

I would be digging that side too, but using a small team and quietly. Preferably by going down one of those shafts. However I would also do something in a more easily accessible area with lots of fanfare and publicity just to keep the noseies/newsies away from the real hunt.

Do they think the shafts are rigged to prevent entry that's why digging else where
